Who am I ?
I'm Estelle Materne, French native I recently relocated from Birmingham, Michigan to Besançon, France. I'm a passionate foreign languages teacher, with 15 years + experience all around the world.
I received two Masters of Arts : one in French Teaching and one in English Literature in the prestigious Université of Lille, France, both with Highest Honors. I've taught in many countries, adjusting my style to my students needs, including France, China, Ireland, the UK and the United States !
As a multilingual person myself, I keep learning new languages and improve them : I'm fluent in English and French, can work my way in Mandarin, and am currently working on my Spanish and German languages.
I love to engage with my students and help them reach their language skills goals. I prioritize building self-confidence and ability to express one's very own ideas in French. I also pride myself in offering high-quality comprehensive lessons, always being supportive and positive about my students' progress.
